On Wednesday, the Celo Foundation announced via X that the Jello Hardfork has been successfully activated on Celo Mainnet, bringing OP Succinct Lite and ZK-powered fault proofs into full production.
This upgrade means that Celo becomes the first chain to implement OP Succinct Lite on Mainnet and the first chain to launch a fully auditable DA bridge for EigenDA, delivering faster, more secure verification and advancing Celo’s evolution as a high-performance Layer 2 built for real-world payments.
With Jello now active on Mainnet, the following capabilities are officially enabled across the network:
-
OP Succinct Lite as the operational fault-proof system
-
ZK-powered, non-interactive proofs for efficient dispute resolution
-
DA bridge leveraging zk-proofs to provide strong EigenDA data availability guarantees
-
New Rust-based Celo-compatible EVM client used for constructing proofs with Succinct’s SP1
-
Introduction of challengers: independent entities monitoring proposer behavior
-
Alignment with L2 Beat criteria for decentralized fault-proof readiness in the “Validiums and Optimiums” category
